Getting started with spring boot , eclipse and maven


This post will explain about How to work with spring boot , eclipse and maven

Step 1: Start eclipse
Step 2: Create new java project
Step 3 : Add below code into pom.xml file
       

    4.0.0

    org.springframework
    spring_boot_first
    0.1.0

    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        1.5.7.RELEASE
    

    
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-web
        
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-actuator
        
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-test
            test
        
    

    
        1.8
    

    
        
            
                org.springframework.boot
                spring-boot-maven-plugin
            
            
                maven-failsafe-plugin
                
                    
                        
                            integration-test
                            verify
                        
                    
                
            
        
    



     
Step 4: Right click on Project-> Configure->Convert To Maven Project
Step 5: If maven plugin not installed in your eclipse then got to market place of eclipse and search for maven , install from there.
Step 6: Now we need to create source folder -
create a folder with name main under src folder
create a folder with name java under main folder
create a folder with name test under main folder

Step 7: Link created folder to src.
Right click on src -> new -> Source folder -> browse on Folder Name-> Give upto main/java
Check the first check box

Right click on src -> new -> Source folder -> browse on Folder Name-> Give upto main/test
Check the first check box

Step 8: Create package wiht name springboot and create a class called HelloController.java


     package springboot;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@RestController
public class HelloController {
    
    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "Greetings from Spring Boot you have done the greate job!";
    }
    
}

    
  

Step 9: Create a class called Application . This is the main class to run the spring boot application.

    package springboot;

import java.util.Arrays;

import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public CommandLineRunner commandLineRunner(ApplicationContext ctx) {
        return args -> {

            System.out.println("Spring boot beans:");

            String[] beanNames = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
            Arrays.sort(beanNames);
            for (String beanName : beanNames) {
                System.out.println(beanName);
            }

        };
    }

}

  

Step 10:Now we need to run this project. Right click on the pom.xml file and Run As -> maven install
Step 11: After Build success . Now we Need to run the Spring Boot Applcation.
Step 12 : Right click on the Application.java Run As - Java Application.
Step 13 : Once executed successfully, then open any Browser and type - http://localhost:8080/
Step 14: Out put will be -Greetings from Spring Boot you have done the greate job! - This details will be available in HelloController.java
Step 15: If you notice that , spring boot will have in built tomcat. Once we started Spring boot, then it will start the tomcat. No external server configuration required.
Step 16 : if you want to know more about spring boot please check the Spring Boot
Step 17 : if you want to change the out put in HelloController. change the return value and again try to run the Application.java.
In this case you may get the below error
      2017-10-05 11:23:38.382  INFO 9172 --- [           main] o.s.c.support.DefaultLifecycleProcessor  : Starting beans in phase 0
